		High-performance, Manageable Dual WAN Security Firewall
		At the heart of your office network, NETGEAR’s high performance security appliance, ProSafe®
		Dual WAN VPN Firewall offers a complete security solution for small and medium-sized
		companies.This rack-mountable, stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall is equipped with support
		for up to 200 security associations (VPN tunnels). The FVX538 can serve as a DHCP server,
100-user Office VPN Router		supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Quality of Service (QoS) and has a
		powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most common Internet attacks.
		Featuring eight auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps LAN ports, one Gigabit LAN port and two 10/100
		WAN ports, the ProSafe® VPN Firewall FVX538 lets multiple computers in your office share two
		Internet connections. The dual WAN ports let you connect a second Internet line as a backup to
		insure that you’re never disconnected. One LAN port can be dedicated as a hardware DMZ port
		for safely providing services to the Internet without compromising security on your LAN.
	Richer Security	This powerful VPN Firewall extends security from the network core to the perimeter by
		preventing unauthorized network access using a SPI firewall, blocking denial-of-service (DoS)
		and other attacks, encrypting traffic traveling across the Internet.
	Capacity to Spare	Dual WAN ports support two broadband connections. A second WAN port supports an
		additional broadband connection. This second WAN connection may be configured as a failover
		connection in case the primary connection fails or can be used to balance the workload by
		distributing traffic across the two connections for optimal per-user bandwidth.
	Superior Value and Usability	Competitively priced and SNMP manageable, convenient VPN Wizard gathers basic information

about your networks and recommends a VPN solution with supporting instructions. Bundled with NETGEAR’s ProSafe VPN client software (VPN05L) — a five-user license is included.
